About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through Coconino County in this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal drainage. Geographic landmarks such as Tatahatso Point and Point Hansbrough overlook the winding water, which is punctuated by the churning waters of President Harding Rapids. The river corridor is home to unique features like Vaseys Paradise and The Bridge of Sighs, alongside technical features of the river such as Nautiloid Canyon and the notable Anasazi Foot Bridge.

Infrastructure is sparse on the high plateaus above the canyon, represented primarily by Indian Rte 6110 and intermittent water management sites like Black Spot Reservoir and Horseshoe Reservoir. Ephemeral washes, including Tatahatso Wash, Shinumo Wash, and LeChee Wash, illustrate the drainage patterns toward the main river. These labels reflect a mix of geological nomenclature and ancient historical references, providing a clear picture of the region's topographical character.
